Team India's new head coach sounded upbeat after being appointed to the high-profile position by the CAC on Tuesday. As many as 10 former cricketers had applied for the India coach role and five of them were interviewed on Monday by the CAC in Mumbai. In his first interview since being named coach, Shastri told India Today the current Indian team can be the best Test team the country has ever produced. "It can be a better Test team than any Indian team we have had. Their age is such that they are playing at the right time," Shastri told India Today from London.
